Self-dual code over \(R\)

Description

An additive linear code \(C\) over a ring \(R\) that is equal to its dual, \(C^\perp = C\), where the dual is defined with respect to some inner product.

Cousins

  • Unimodular lattice— There are parallels between self-dual codes over \(\mathbb{Z}_{2k}\) and even unimodular lattices [1,2].
  • Niemeier lattice— Extremal Type II self-dual codes of length 24 over \(\mathbb{Z}_6\) yield Niemeier lattices [3].
